"If you’re looking for a bowl of wonton egg noodle soup in Long Beach, go to Kim Sun Kitchen. It’s a casual spot on Cherry Avenue that serves a mash-up of Cambodian and Chinese dishes. This counter-service restaurant is perfect for weekday meals, and it’s also great for when you have the random urge to spend $1 on a carton of fresh soy milk. Other than the wonton soup, we especially like the rich bone marrow soup, spicy chicken rice porridge, and crispy fried tilapia served on the whole." - nikko duren
"At Kim Sun Kitchen on busy Cherry Avenue in Long Beach, owners Vibean Ros and Dara Kim prepare a selection of satisfying Chinese and Cambodian dishes. The Cambodian-style beef noodle soup rivals its similarly spiced Taiwanese and Vietnamese counterparts and comes with a tangle of rice noodles and enough tripe to make every bite a textured treat." - Cathy Chaplin
"Hidden behind parked cars in an aging white storefront, the owners prepare a mix of comforting Chinese carryovers and Khmer specialties—the grilled beef sticks ($15 for five hefty spears) come with carrot and papaya slaw and pack lemongrass, tamarind, and coconut‑milk flavors, while a Cambodian‑style beef noodle soup ($13 small, $15 large) offers rice noodles and textured tripe rivaling similarly spiced Taiwanese and Vietnamese bowls." - Eater Staff
"I first watched Phuong take Battambong BBQ to the people with a once‑a‑week setup in Kim Sun Kitchen’s parking lot in North Long Beach, where his backyard smoking moved from a friend’s rusty system to a regular public weekly presence." - Brian Addison
